Meteorology is the study of the Earth’s atmosphere, and a component of Earth system science; a meteorologist is someone who predicts the weather based on the systems of the Earth’s atmosphere, and an aviation meteorologist does all that with a singular focus on the aviation industry. Aviation meteorology students become experts in math and physics, build a comprehensive knowledge of meteorology, and gain in-depth exposure to fields like oceanography, geology, space science, environmental science, climate science and atmospheric chemistry.

As a student earning the aviation meteorology with flight program degree you can a custom tailor your program with different areas of specialization such as air traffic control, multiengine commercial pilot with an instrument rating, FAA dispatcher, ExpressJet regional airline pilot, or flight instructor. The air traffic control program meets the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration’s air traffic-collegiate training initiative program and is FAA-approved.
